This time round we decided to get bbq pork and roasted pork over fried rice. It comes with garlic sauteed cabbage which it will kill be a little due to the chopped garlic but i'll sacrifice myself on occasions. The BBQ pork and roasted pork were delicious and moist. It can be hit or miss and today was a hit. The fried rice was ok but I think I prefer steamed rice with this combo just due to the oily/fatty content can be too much and steamed rice is a nice complement to it. Service is relatively quick when they're not packed with people. Inside is still just a to-go spot. No place to sit. It's really a grab and go place. We'll always treat ourselves with this place and their siu mai is super gigantic and juicy. Definitely one of our go-to spots in Fremont.

I've always side‑eyed this spot whenever I'm next door grabbing Chicha San Chen but hesitated due…read moreto never seeing anyone in there. The food photos alone never quite explained why it has such light foot traffic--and honestly, after finally stopping in, I'm even more puzzled, because the food is good. Maybe it's missing that immediate grab‑you factor, but my experience was solid. I ordered the double pepper chicken leg burger, and the chicken itself is the star: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and deeply savory. While I personally wished it packed more heat, the execution was spot‑on. The bun, however, felt a bit forgettable, and the sauce leaned heavily into Thousand Island territory...fine, but not particularly distinctive. All that said, it's better than the crowd suggests. With a little more personality, this place could easily pull more attention its way.

One thing I was kind of disappointed was that they charge you for bottled water and have no tap water available for free. I ended up getting a drink from their limited selection of bottled beverages (ranging from sodas to unsweetened jasmine tea). Lesson of the day: bring your own water! Other than that, I thought their crispy chicken leg burger was quite yummy, but there wasn't anything too special about it. The chicken was crunchy and juicy. The bun was on the drier side though. Also, the fries were just okay. I would come back for just the crispy chicken leg burger.

Spoon Korean Bistro is one of my favorite restaurants in Fremont. It's conveniently located in the…read moreplaza with Chase Bank, 99 Ranch Market, Carl's Jr., Starbucks, and several other businesses. Because it's such a popular shopping center, parking can be challenging during peak hours. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it's clean, cozy, and welcoming. The staff is always friendly, patient, and happy to explain the menu or answer any questions, which makes the dining experience even better. The food is absolutely delicious--packed with flavor and served in generous portions. Every meal comes with a variety of side dishes, and there's always plenty to eat. I almost always leave with leftovers, which is a bonus. I have no complaints about the food or quality. I've dined in as well as ordered takeout, and both experiences have been consistently smooth and enjoyable. Whether you're eating at the restaurant or taking your meal to go, the service is efficient and the food is just as satisfying. I'll definitely be returning and am happy to give Spoon Korean Bistro a well-deserved five-star rating!

Who knew gas station fried chicken could taste this good. Also, I've tried a few other Krispy Krunchy locations, but none come close to this location in terms of taste and quality. Ordering is simple and fast - tell the guy at the counter what you want, he prints out a bill for you which you use to pay at the billing counter, and then you pick up your order. I generally go for the chicken plus biscuit combo and more often than not, finish the biscuit in the car while driving back home. When they are out of biscuits or if I want more than 4 pieces of chicken, I go for the 8 piece chicken and I have to say it is an unbeatable deal for 8 pieces of hand breaded chicken plus taxes at less than 20 bucks. Yes, the cajun seasoning can sometimes get a tad too salty, but generally, they really nail the flavor at this location. The chicken is always fresh here and they do sometimes run out of chicken, which means you'll need to wait to get piping hot chicken; otherwise service is generally super fast. Also, love their newly redesigned kruch boxes which let the steam out and help keep the chicken really krispy and krunchy.

During the rush hour it is just more of a wait sometimes. I belive they are a little understaffed sometimes. Only 2 people working that I have seen. Their friend chicken is just soooo good. Just order ahead of time before you come because if you order at the restaurant you will have to wait because they cook it fresh. I love their fried chicken and will for sure be coming back for more! So happy I found this place. It is really hard to not love a good fried chicken!

If you like food with a slight kick of spice, then this place is for you. Chicken G's serves…read morechicken sandwiches, fried bone in chicken, and Chicken Tenders . I had their Chicken sandwich. It was one which did not have a "spice" warning logo... but underneath the deliciously crispy batter, there was a very noticeable spice (my tolerable spice level is hot Cheetos, and this was slightly spicier than that). Beyond the spice, the chicken itself was spectacularly cooked. The interior was quaint. They had two large posters with a few tv's one playing Ted Talks without sound. They also had a prayer area which i thought was nice and well maintained. The bathroom: A single person restroom tucked in the back of the storage hallway. (The same hallway the staff uses to go to the back of the kitchen). It is decently clean with a larger sink and a toilet that even has a bidet. Above the door, there is a sprayer nozzle that is a bit worrisome since anyone who enters the restroom walks directly underneath this. The kitchen had an obnoxiously loud mechanical squeaking noise... not sure what it was but we just tried to ignore it (which was very difficult to do). The order: The Big G (Chicken Sandwich) -Had a large, thick, and very juicy fried chicken. The batter is knurled with a great crunch! Even though it had some heat, it was delicious!!! If you want more heat, there are options on the menu. This could easily be the best chicken sandwiches I have had in the area... if it weren't spicy. Comes with a side, and I chose seasoned fries (the seasoning turns out to be very spicy). Combo 1 -This combo comes with 2pc bone in chicken and a side. This chicken comes with the same deliciously crunchy batter as the Big G, and it too has a spice level I was not expecting. As for the side, this time I went with regular fries, and it helped tremendously to cool down my mouth from all the hot spices/seasonings going on. Definitely worth a try if you can handle and enjoy hot Cheetos. But if you can't, then I recommend skipping this one. But the delicious chicken batter might be worth the spice pain.

We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table, but it ended up being worth it. The staff stayed attentive throughout the meal, checking in regularly, replacing grill plates when needed, and helping explain a few menu items. Food arrived at a comfortable pace, so we never felt rushed. I also noticed they have a great selection of different beers for those who enjoy pairing drinks with chinese traditional barbecue. If you plan to drink, please do not drink and drive. Being open until 10pm makes it a perfect spot for friends gathering after work or later in the evening.

Another new BBQ skewer spot has opened in the Bay Area…read more There are so many options, from meat, seafood, and vegetables to rice, noodle, and soup dishes - you name it! I was excited to try a variety of dishes with my friends, and as expected, we ordered a ton and finished every single bite. Some of my top favorites were the teriyaki chicken skewer, beef pineapple skewer, grilled chicken skin, grilled bun slices, sizzling tomato egg rice, and grilled enoki mushrooms. The seasoning on the skewers was spot on and thoughtfully varied depending on the dish. Everything was cooked perfectly, the meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I personally love skewers, and they're the perfect meal to enjoy with friends - chatting, laughing, and sharing delicious skewers and drinks together!

The lamb skewers and chicken wings were cooked perfectly and had that smoky, northern-style Chinese BBQ flavor we were looking for.

The restaurant is not ayce which is actually what we were looking for. Sometimes you just want to order different stuff without subject yourself to overeating. The problem is the food is so so but for the price it's slightly less quality than you'd expect. We ordered both the combo 1 and a spicy squid dish. The combo 1 has a bbq galbi (LA galbi), a bbq dish (with chicken, pork and bulgogi), tofu soup and a cheesy corn dish. None of them are bad per se but the amount of food doesn't feel like a good enough deal for the price. The combo is a better deal than ordering the dish individually but the the amount of galbi is just too little. The same is true for the spicy squid dish, just too few pieces to justify the price. The tofu soup doesn't come with an egg. Banchan however has a good number of varieties. This is also the only Korean restaurant I know that charges $3 for a bowl of rice. The service is good and the place is larger than expected. There are bbq tables but I don't think those have been used for a while. The location is the tiny plaza where the main focus is the McDonald's. There is however a fairly popular coffee place next door.
